We cover a lot of topics in class, but there is so much more than we have time for. So here is a selection of some of the 100's of web sites that you can use to help you improve your English abilities. Some were specifically created to help you learn English. Others are general sites that you might find helpful or interesting. You can use these or look for others on your own (start a Google search with "ESL"). Hours of fun!!!!
Note: Please let me know if any of these sites are no longer active so that I can remove them from the list. And, please tell me of other good sites that I can add to the list.
